Down, down, down.

So three of our four Christmas trees are down. The nutcrackers and Granny decorations are down. Our (ridiculously) simple front-door lighted garland is down.

And I am down.

There are people who love their homes' clean look once the Christmas stuff is gone. I am not one of those people. This year, because we're still so new to our house, the cleared-out look just makes our home seem empty. And my need to paint? More evident than ever!

So yeah, I'm a little on the melancholy side tonight. Surely that has nothing to do with going back to work in the morning, right?

(sigh)

An attitude adjustment is in order! After all, I'm only working three days this week, and then I'm off to LA for the big game! Tomorrow and Tuesday I'll be packing for the trip that we booked back in October. Yep, it's time to count my blessings, and although they're innumerable, I'll start by counting to three. Three days. I can handle THREE DAYS!
